The ULTIMATE Chocolate Chip Cookie

I honestly don't know where this recipe came from.  I've had it FORVER in my recipe box.  But the name of the cookie says it all.  These cookies are the most requested cookies that I make.  Apparently I'm "known"  for these cookies among my friends....

These are soft in the middle - which I love.  They also freeze really well, so feel free to cookie a huge batch and put in a sealed container in the freezer.  I remove 6 at a time so that they are always soft and fresh when we want to eat them!

 

Here's goes.

THIS RECIPE MAKE ALOT OF COOKIES- You may want to cut the recipe in half unless you need 4 dozen cookies, or unless you intend to freeze them! 

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 cup of softened butter

1 1/4 cups granulated sugar

1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar

1 tbsp vanilla

2 eggs

4 cups flour

2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

2 cups milk chocolate chips

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Procedure 

1.  Heat oven to 350⁰.

2.  Beat butter, sugars, vanilla and eggs in a large bowl.

3.  Stir in flour, baking soda and salt.  Do this in stages to make it easier.  The dough will be very stiff.

4.  Drop by the tablespoonful about 2 inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet (I line mine with parchment paper).  Flattened the cookies slightly.

5.  Bake in middle to upper portion of your oven for 13-15 minutes or until slightly browned (but still soft in middle).  As ovens vary, watch how your first batch comes out and adjust cooking time or temperature of oven accordingly....

6.  Let the cookies cool for about 2 minutes before removing from pan to cooling rack.
